Markets Served
Bayer MaterialScience Urethane serves the entire spectrum of flooring
manufacturers:
- Athletic turf/synthetic grass: scrape-coats, pre-coats, and foam cushions
- Carpet: pre-coats, attached and detached foam cushions
- Froth foam pads: used in multiple applications like carpet padding, underlayment, etc.
- Sound absorption foam underlayment: used for hardwoods and laminates
High-Performance Polyurethane Flooring Applications
The unique properties and versatility of polyurethane chemistry make it the ideal material for many flooring applications. There are many advantages Bayer MaterialScience can provide:
- Outdoor applications—like athletic turf and marine carpet—are exposed to repeated wet and dry cycles. These applications must be water-resistant, but still provide strength and durability.
- Commercial carpets often require high-performance polyurethane backings because they specify high stitch-lock and are exposed to repeated steam cleanings. This is particularly true in the health care and hospitality sectors.
- Polyurethane carpet padding must retain its resilience over the long term. The right cushion improves the feel and wear qualities of carpet face fibers.
- Polyurethane foam pads are required for use with many hardwood and laminate floorings for sound absorption and a moisture barrier.
- Polyurethane backings resist moisture and will not promote the growth of mold, mildew, or microbes.
